Thanks George, That's what I was afraid of. It looks like my options now are to build (or buy cheep dell ($300 w/ no OS)) computer to handle firewall/routing or go with the wrap or soekris. I plan on having multiple video streams going through this router/firewall nearly 24/7. (i.e. Lots of bandwidth, very few connections) Do you think I need the extra cpu of a regular computer or will the wrap be able to handle it?

An entry level Cisco is hideously expensive; I found two on Pricewatch for $389 USD from a retailer with truly bad reviews. Last time I looked for one (which, admittedly, was a couple of years ago) the same model was going for $1500 USD refurbished. I adore Cisco equipment and the IOS, but it is way too pricey if you're not running a major site - and even then, it's questionable. You're going to be far better off with Bering uClibc and any kind of hardware than you are spending the money a Cisco will cost, especially since most of them you'll need to buy a second ethernet card for your external interface and actually get a license for IOS.
